The deceit starts with the brainwashing of children to believe that people can be born in the wrong body under the guise of "inclusivity". This is psycho-sexual abuse. Creating body dissociation issues with children that are struggling to fit in with peers and makes sense of the world around them. Schools are, in fact, complicit in the creation of "trans" identities. The teacher's unions and the department of education are pushing an agenda that triangulates children and places a wedge between the parent and child relationship. Many teachers are not parents themselves, and some times have a pompous view that they some how know better than parents what is best for the children in their classrooms. What they may not realize is the profound medical harm this is perpetuating. Normalizing social transition is profound abuse.

Yes, and when schools and specific teachers push the “born in the wrong body” narrative they encourage a body/mind split - dissociation - that their body doesn’t have to be “theirs.” As if it can be disregarded.

For any kid who is struggling and suffering, dissociation is a preferred state to their emotional suffering, and a way to escape the emotional pain - experienced as derealization (as if the world isn’t real) and/or depersonalization (as if they’re not real). Clearly, this would only exacerbate any existing body dysmorphia or self-rejection.

Dissociation is what adults should be helping kids out of, not into - Helping kids become more (not less) embodied, sensorily grounded, and integrated.

In this case, are any of the anti-secrecy parties arguing that when a school district withholds knowledge of a child's social transition at school the school is abridging the parents' rights to "care, guide and make health care decisions for their children" without due process of law?

As I understand it, the schools' basis for secrecy is the belief by school personnel that parents are hostile to their child's trans identity and might harm their child in some way if they knew they were trans at school.

Well, what is the source of that belief? The child? Kids get mad at their parents and say terrible things about them at the drop of a hat. The problem is they're not emotionally mature and lack the reasoning abilities and life experiences of adults.

Are schools relying on generalizations and fear mongering about supposedly unsupportive parents by trans activists and trans allies? Untested conventional wisdom by the school's LGBTQ+ advocate?

Isn't the school obligated to engage in fact finding and decision making on a case-by-cases basis as to whether the parents would be a threat to the child if they knew he or she was trans at school? Don't parents have a right to know the evidence that supports curtailing their parental rights? Don't they get to challenge that evidence and present evidence of their own before a decision is made?
